Panthers sign center Hartwig
The Carolina Panthers have signed unrestricted free agent center Justin Hartwig from the Tennessee Titans, the team has announced. Hartwig, 27, has appeared in 50 career games with 47 starts in four NFL seasons, all with Tennessee.
In 2005, Hartwig (6-4, 312 pounds) started all 16 games for the second time in his career and aided a Titans offense that finished ninth in the League in passing. Drafted in the sixth round (187th overall) of the 2002 NFL Draft, he played in three contests, primarily on special teams, as a rookie. Switched from guard to center at the beginning of training camp in 2003, Hartwig earned the starting job after never having played the position and proceeded to start all 16 games.
A native of Des Moines, IA, Hartwig was a three-year starter at tackle for Kansas, where he was an All-Big 12 second-team selection as a senior and honorable mention as a junior.
